Lamar Alexander is helping get Betsy De Vos confirmed

Apparently, he is taking her around to all of the skeptical senators and letting her talk with them one on one. And it seems to be working. What on earth could she be telling skeptical senators to make them feel better? One of Chris Matthews panel told him that is what has been happening this week.

She is the worst and she will destroy public education. But a dumb electorate is an easily manipulated electorate.

all the way down to the foundation of public education. The problems we've been seeing in public education now is because of these education "reformers" trying to control the curriculum and pilfer the tax dollars. Happening in my kids' school district right now.
